Annette Brooks Boling

Annette devoted her life to serving others and caring for the elderly.  She retired from Chateau Deville Nursing Home in Pascagoula (now Singing River Health and Rehabilitation Center) as a Nursing Aid. She married Billy Ray Boling on November 3,1973 and they celebrated 50 years of marriage one year before his passing.

She was a strong-willed and determined woman who faced life head-on and never backed down from being herself. Known for her playful aggressing and sharp sense of humor, she loved joking around and keeping those close to her on their toes. Her strength, laughter, and unmistakable presence left a lasting impression on everyone she met. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
